Kobe JALT:

Autoethnography for reflective practice, self-care, and professional development

Date: Saturday, April 19th, 2025 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Miso Kim (Osaka University)

Description:
This hands-on workshop is designed for teachers who seek to turn their lived experiences and translingual identities into teaching and research. In the first half of the workshop, Dr. Miso Kim introduces autoethnography, a research method for critically analyzing our teacher identities and experiences. I then invite attendees to reflect on their teacher identities and experiences, express them in creative forms, and connect with other attendees. In the second half, I demonstrate how to turn the reflection into pedagogy, research, and self-care by drawing on the concept of translingual identity-as-pedagogy and showcasing my ongoing action research project. Attendees will then collaborate to explore the links between their translingual identities and experiences with their teaching and research, as they discuss how to enrich their pedagogy and create a community for solidarity and care.
